Its Good to Wine a Little...

Sometimes its good to Wine a little...

 I needed to put together some gifts in a hurry. My time lately had been consumed. But, I wanted a nice gift with some thought....Nothing generic!

Something that showed some forethought to my gift! 

 Operation Wine Bag...

I choose some burlap with a Parisian print, grabbed some twine & scissors.

A piece of standard 8x11 paper, providing a homemade pattern. A Christmas ornament hook and a replacement crystal chandelier fob....

And of course a bottle of wine....

 I folded the material in a way so I could cut as many bag patterns as possible....With little waste! 

 I cut the size I wanted for the bags using my paper pattern.  Two bags were connected in the center after the initials cuts across the width of the fabric. Then I cut across the middle at the top of the bags.... 

One strip equalled two bags.

 I measured the width on the top of the bag using twine. Then I doubled the length of the twine and cut it.

 On any unfinished edges of the burlap, I zig zagged the material, to keep from unraveling. Then I placed the folded end of twine slightly below the top....This would create a tie for the bag.

 I sewed the side seams so the edges were raw....adding an unfinished look to the bag

 Voila....A Wine Bag with Style!

Inside the bag I placed some Santa suits for the wine bottles & chocolate candies...

Tied them shut and added a quick & easy hand made ornament!

Ready & Waiting for Santa-Hubby to deliver!

Now that's How to Wine with Style...
